SBVCF - Jay-Z Debuts Sleek New Cannabis Line

Shawn ‘JAY-Z’ Carter has launched his first products from the cannabis line, MONOGRAM . Earlier this year, Carter announced he was partnering with California-based cannabis company Caliva. That company also recently announced an agreement with The Parent Company (TPCO) and Carter has since accepted the role of Chief Visionary Officer for the newly formed corporation. The special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) Subversive Capital Acquisition Corp. (OTCQX: SBVCF) entered into definitive agreements with Carter, Roc Nation, CMG Partners Inc. (Caliva) and Left Coast Ventures, Inc. to form TPCO. The deal is expected to close in January 2021.

“Cannabis has been around for thousands of years, yet it is still an industry whose legacy of skilled craftmanship is often overlooked,” shared Mr. Carter. “I created MONOGRAM to give cannabis the respect it deserves by showcasing the tremendous hard work, time, and care that goes into crafting a superior smoke. MONOGRAM products are next level when it comes to quality and consistency and we’re just getting started.”

Monogram said its flower is cultivated at The Parent Company’s flagship growing facility in San Jose, California , using a batch-by-batch approach. The company said that each plant receives personalized attention from the company’s expert growers, who grade and select every flower by hand. The team is led by Cultivation Ambassador DeAndre Watson , who has been working with the plant for over 25 years. The packaging is matt black and looks as if it’s inspired by a high-end cosmetics line.

The newly introduced MONOGRAM strains – No. 88, No. 96, No. 70 and No. 01 – are currently available via the brand’s three product classes:

• THE OG HANDROLL – The first product of its kind, THE OG HANDROLL (SRP: $50 ) takes inspiration from the smoke experience of a premium cigar, but implements a proprietary roll technique allowing the flower to burn slowly and evenly for multiple sessions. Highly trained artisan rollers break the flower down by hand and roll using a time-honored process that was specially architected by MONOGRAM Culture & Cultivation Ambassador DeAndre Watson . A true work of art and craftsmanship that cannot be automated, the roll itself burns clean and clear every time.
• LOOSIES PREROLL PACK – The LOOSIES PREROLL PACK (SRP: $40 ) contains four 0.4g prerolls that have been individually wrapped to foster communal smoking with ease. Each is filled with flower that has been produced to exacting standards to ensure a premium experience. The packaging itself makes a statement and reflects the magic held within: bold, convenient, top-shelf quality – wherever, whenever.
• FLOWER – Available in 2g and 4g jars, MONOGRAM FLOWER (SRP: $40 & $70 ) is cannabis perfected. Grown in small batches to maintain control and quality, each flower is hand-selected and hand-finished by MONOGRAM experts to provide the best possible experience, from grow to smoke. The bold packaging provides a showcase piece while keeping the cannabis fresh and protected from UV light.
